Make a referral

Looking for a specialist provider of quality nursing care? You’ll find the right home with Exemplar.

Whether you’re looking for a short term placement – perhaps for respite or in response to winter pressures – or longer term specialist care, you’re in the right place to find out more.

Exemplar’s holistic approach and experienced teams deliver truly person-centred care in a community environment. This leads to positive and high quality clinical outcomes in our homes. People develop greater independence and achieve their personal goals and often see a reduction in care needs.

Over half of our residents come to us from other service providers following a failed placement due to the complex nature of a person’s condition. Through careful planning we work hard to understand the reasons behind this, building up a complete understanding of each person’s journey, adapting our approach to meet their needs and bring an end to this cycle.

We review service user’s needs regularly to ensure we are offering the correct support and care. Where needs reduce, we pass these savings on to funders and commissioners to ensure placements are fair and accurate. Our transparent referral process means funders can track a person’s progress through each stage of their care, every step of the way.

Assessment

Treatment objectives and goals are agreed at the outset in agreement with the referrers’ requirements. This allows Exemplar to undertake an individual’s pre-admission assessment.

During the assessment, information is gathered from many sources, including:

The individual and their family

Social workers

Nurse assessors

Previous placements

Consultants and clinicians

Therapists

This allows us to tailor our high-quality care plans so we can achieve the best possible outcomes for individuals.

Working closely with referrers, we agree – wherever possible – goals and timescales, including the anticipated length of stay and plans for discharge. Every step of the way, we stay in touch with both the referring team and commissioner as an individual progresses through their care pathway.
